This week's featured author is Jeanne Bannon, author of "Invisible."
Here is a bit about Jeanne and her work:
Blurb
Lola’s not pretty. Lola’s not popular.
Lola wishes she could disappear … and then one day she does just that...
For seventeen-year-old Lola Savullo, life
is a struggle. Born to funky parents who are more in than she could ever be, Lola’s dream of becoming a writer makes
her an outsider even in her own home. Bullied and despised, Lola still has the
support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose.
Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big
girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp
counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally
vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”.
Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to
control the new super power. The possibilities are endless. Yet power can be
abused, too…
Then, when tragedy strikes, Lola must
summon her inner strength, both at home and at school. She has to stand up for
herself, despite the temptations and possibilities of her newfound super power.
A coming-of-age story that will warm the
heart.
